Role Overview
The Caretaker is responsible for providing a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at The Lantern.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Due to the nature of the building contract, the Caretaker does not undertake repair or maintenance work. Responsibility lies with identifying and reporting faults and ensuring that the appropriate procedures are followed. There may also be some additional duties across other sites, where required, or additional hours to cover holiday absence.
Key Responsibilities
- Help maintain high standards of health and safety
- Respond to day-to-day issues in a practical and timely way
- Contribute to the security, upkeep, and presentation of the premises
Requirements
- You will be a practical and organised individual with experience of caretaking, site support, facilities, or building maintenance work.
- You will be confident carrying out routine checks, minor repairs, and day-to-day tasks that help keep a building safe, tidy, and operational.
- You will have a proactive approach, good awareness of health and safety, and the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, contractors, service users, and members of the public.
- Reliability, flexibility, and a strong sense of responsibility are essential, particularly in relation to security, keyholding, and maintaining a welcoming environment.
